HP PAVILION WAVE PC When we think of a desktop PC, we usually picture an ugly black box confined to the floor under our desk, or draped with a towel to keep it out of sight – unless, of course, we’re talking about an iMac or the insanely cool Mac Pro. But HP is set to smarten up the home office with its latest free-standing home computer. Looking like something that’d be more at home on an audio elitist’s side table, the Wave is shrouded in Bang & Olufsen’s finest attire. With a speaker nestled at the top of the machine’s internals, sound is fired upwards and out, with the built-in sound-projection system in the roof converting audio waves into 360-degree tunes. So regardless of where you’re sitting, you can hear…

Rob Carney EDITOR There are just so many great phones out at the moment that Rob doesn’t know which one to use. He’s currently got an iPhone 7, an iPhone 7 Plus and a Google Pixel poking out of his pockets. Luke O’Neill ART EDITOR Combining his love of graphic design and models, Luke took the bull by the horns this month and designed our stunning tech shopping guide. Oh, and the rest of the mag too. Robert Jones FEATURES EDITOR, T3.COM Robert has been dressing to impress while putting together T3.com’s October style guide. He’s also been getting ready for Halloween by updating T3’s “scariest games ever” round-up. Nick Odantzis DEPUTY EDITOR Nick is currently on sabbatical in Patagonia, and we haven’t heard from him. No doubt he’s using all the latest GoPro tech to create a holiday video he’ll…

Isn’t it exciting to think about what could be next on your tech shopping list? But it can be tricky when you have things like a budget and indecisiveness getting in the way. So we’re here to help. In typical T3 fashion, we’ve put together the ultimate list of kit to satisfy the hole that’s burning in your pocket (and no, we don’t mean the Galaxy Note 7). So, whether your budget is £50 or £5k, we’ve got a gadget for you. Flick to p48 now. For around a month, I’ve had a Dyson 360 Eye doing my vacuuming for me. And I’ve got to be honest, I love it. But there’s a raft of robo-vacs out there now, so we decided to test the best three. See who was crowned…

€450 (£405), audeze.com Hey, has Spider-Man launched a pair of earphones? If only. No, audio behemoth Audeze is responsible for these little beauts. The iSINE 10s are the world’s first in-ears to use planar-magnetic drivers – the sort usually found in larger, over-ear headphones. According to Audeze, the use of planar technology instead of conventional balancedarmature or dynamic drivers ensures more precise control and faster response times without distortion. Sounds pretty next-level. It certainly is. Squeezing planar drivers into small earbuds is no mean feat. But that’s not all – they also contain Audeze’s patented Fluxor magnets and Uniforce voice coils to deliver accurate, high-end sound quality. Aren’t they a little big for in-ears? Well, yes, they are a tad larger than average, but that’s the trade-off for all of that groundbreaking technology inside. In any…

From £269, braun.com Oh joy, another shaver. It’s not just another shaver. The Series 9 Titanium is the absolute state-of-the-art in male facial depilation. The hair to the throne. Just in time for Christmas, Braun has created the ultimate shaver. Surely, Braun said all that last time it put out a shaver? Well, that’s technology for you. However, as good as the original Braun Series 9 was, this is the first electric shaver we’ve tried that can actually get rid of a good three days’ worth of stubble. How does it manage that? It’s all thanks to its HyperLift&Cut and Direct&Cut trimmers. These do what their names suggest, up-combing and trimming longer hairs, before the Opti-Foil shaver takes it right down to your skin. I notice that the HyperLift&Cut trimmer appears to be made of gold? Wrong! That’s…
